Our 'Crazy Rich Asians' Dream Cast

It's official! Warner Bros. has acquired the adaptation rights for Kevin Kwan's hilarious best-selling novel Crazy Rich Asians, and a film version is definitely in the works.

This, as Revelist.com puts it, is "the first movie Hollywood literally cannot whitewash." Overdue as things are, the progress is good news! In celebration of the increasing inclusion of Asian actors on the silver screen, we've put together our Crazy Rich Asians dream cast.

With her posh accent and striking features, Gemma Chan (who's appeared in Humans, Sherlock, and Dr. Who) would do heiress Astrid's moniker "The Goddess" justice.

Michelle Yeoh as Eleanor Young

Nick's chic, scheming mother absolutely hates Rachel for her no-name lineage and American accent. We can totally envision Michelle Yeoh slaying the role.
